Ganbare Goemon - Ooedo Daikaiten [PSOne Books] Japan

After the disaster of the last Playstation game, Konami brought the series back to its roots, with a 2D adventure that's much closer to what fans expect: 'Oedo Daikaiten', or 'The Great Revolution of Oedo'. Unfortunately, it's a little TOO close - the gameplay is almost exactly the same as Goemon 2 for the Super Famicom. Sure, the levels and storyline are different - you have to strike down the evil King of Recycling - but all of the little touches that were cool about that game just seem, ironically enough, recycled.
